Because he doesn't want a bear behind.

I think if you're a male aged over fifty, the rules are that you may wear whatever coloured trousers you like. Teamed, ideally, with a shirt & a cravat in a jarringly clashing colour. The Henry Blofeld (or the aforementioned Michael Portillo) look.

Yeah, but I was about 27/28 when I wore those check monstrosities. Now I have reached, er, more mature years I could wear some more jarring colours ... but I fear that Mrs Gwylan wouldn't dare be seen with me

That would be amazing to get a group singing that, most travelling fans wouldn't understand

I have very many RTB annuals, as I enjoyed thm in the 60s when I was a nipper, and started a collection later in life. I have a quite old one where, I was astonished (albeit it was in the Express) to find a story where Rupert visits c*** island. I kid you not.

Clearly not checks, just a series of horizontal and vertical stripes

In my younger days, I had a pair of green, white and salmon pink checked trousers. I wore them once and realised what a horrible mistake I'd made - they looked like Wallace Chesney's strides (© PG Wodehouse).

We've all done things we're embarrassed about ...

My dear old thing, I agree.

Because he's actually a Lumberjack Bear but he can't wear a check shirt because you wouldn't be able to see it through his jumper.
